re: AWB edit of Zend Framework

Sorry about that. I should have noticed it. I've fixed it. Thanks for letting me know. -- JLaTondre (talk) 23:58, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

No problem. I didn't know about AWB previously. Very interesting project. Too bad it's .net, though. demonburrito (talk) 12:10, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Links to Grond

Just asking: do you intend to fix up the displaced links now that Grond is no-longer part of Wikipedia:WikiProject_Middle-earth? Elphion (talk) 23:03, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Oh shoot... Sorry. Carl Sixsmith was supposed to take care of that. I can do it, though. demonburrito (talk) 23:14, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Pinker and sign languages

Hello DemonBurrito

in 2005 you wrote this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Origin_of_language#Invented.3F

"Pinker's 'The Language Instinct' is listed as a reference for the article, and those of you who have read this or other works of Pinker/Chomsky will recall that they disagree with the idea of language genesis in the form of an ancient unsung genius who decided to create language. As evidence they point to, among other things, the famous sign language debaucles (I think this was mentioned earlier on this Talk page). Without going into too much detail (I encourage anyone interested to read Pinker's book on the subject, as it's a really fun read), the "invented" and "superior" sign language designed by well-meaning but misguided caregivers and linguists was promptly abandoned by students in favor of a spontaneously generated pidgin (anecdotally, developed on the bus ride home) that was much more useful and expressive than the artificial system, and developed into a fully formed language in the subsequent generation (as pidgins do)."

I would be hugely grateful if you could please let me know which book you are talking about that refers to deaf children abandoning the imposed 'superior sign language' and developing their own more grammatical language on the bus home?

I could not find the earlier discussion you mentioned. I have also looked through Pinker's The Language Instinct, and in his discussion of Nicaraguan SL in this book, the children were formerly taught via the oral method - they didn't have a manufactured sign system imposed on them.

You can reply on this page or you can email me at tomato at spc dot org. Many thanks! RedTomato (talk) 09:30, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
